infection inside your pores!

Elisa Sung Skin Diaries

regardless of how much you take care of your skin and apply the top notch products! you will always get a random pimple or infection inside your pores or pore. So it makes me think maybe my skin is being spoiled by expensive products and has become greedy! saying i want more and more. It has brought me into a conclusion that sometimes the best thing for you skin is applying nothing. leaving your skin go natural and just giving them the cold shoulder and then they will appreciate the benefits of the skin care products. I once a week randomly don't apply anything on my face! so my skin will have draw back and when i do apply something it works better! giving my skin a surprise! but if you do have skin problems pimples or infections inside your pores the best thing is to:
1. don't touch it
2. don't apply anything
3. use just h20 drink it, wash your face or steam your face (great way to reduce blackheads)

I know it is hard and you want that pimple or infection gone but places such as your nose! it takes a while for it to come out and recover. Be patient! be patient (that's what i am telling myself) believe me i want this thing gone from my face as soon as possible! i am a makeup guru! i need to make tutorials! but this infection right on the center of my nose! gah! i need to leave it alone, no makeup, no moisturizers, no acne cream! just leave it alone and i'll leave! but it is just so damn hard. (Cries) but i need to be patient and endure this! so i guess it'll be hair tutorials for a while! ^^

brush lab makeup brushes

Elisa Sung's makeup diaries

"brush lab review"

if you have watched my current videos you would have noticed these black and white brushes! my favorite one is the powder brush! it is so soft! so brushlab only sent me the face brushes! and they are amazing! i carry them everywhere and my friends always comment on how soft it is and how they can't stop brushing these brushes against their cheeks! that's how heavenly soft they are. I sometimes find myself just rubbing these brushes against my face for relaxation. lols but if you are looking for fun brushes that are unique and don't look like paint brushes! brush lab is the way to go! it is light, modern, animal friendly products, comfortable and works with great precision. Great for makeup artist or amateur makeup artist like myself! if you are looking for a good set of brushes i really recommend these! i wonder how the eye collection brushes are.... (sending secretive hints to brushlab so send me some eye brushes lols) 

The hair brushes are amazing! they are very light! they might look heavy but they are super light! i need to try these out with my blow dryer! that'll be another tutorial. okies that's all folks

clarisonic vs DDF

ElisaSung's makeup diaries

clarisonic vs DDF

So the oh so popular clarisonic is amazing but it can be a bit pricy! I love to deeply exfoliate my skin and remove all the dirt, oil, makeup and etc off my skin and pores. But here is the catch the clarisonic is sooo expensive almost $200 dollars for a face exfoliator! and like everybody( including me) would rather buy something more useful for 200 dollars like a new camera! but I being a makeup guru feel into the hype and wanted one of these exfoliators so badly and i got a gift coupon from skincarerx and had just enough to purchase the DDF rather than the clarisonic. The DDF in my opinion and after many hours of research is just like the clarisonic! just the rotation is different! but that is that! the end result is the same! and save you 100$ that you can spend on other things. So if you are like me and want to buy a exfoliator that is just like the clarisonic! i recommend the DDF! it comes with this crystal gel scrub that polishes your face! It was a great investment! you can use it with any face wash! my personal favorite the aveeno radiance foam wash! but if you have tried the clarisonic or ddf! please post comments about your experience! 

i mean with this machine you gotta experience it to believe it! i mean it really cleans deep down your pores! scrubs and your fingers can't go that deep!

Duwop review

Elisa Sung's makeup diaries:DuWop review


well i ran across DuWop in the apothica website! the website that sponsored me to hold a contest! and as you guys know i have terrible dark circles! i have used green tea bags over my eyes and two type of different concealers to cover up those dark circles. but regardless of how much product i use as you guys comment on my youtube videos. "i can still see those dark circles" so wearing good thick strong concealer is great and all but i think we need to go deep to the problem. The reason dark circles appear are because the lack of antioxidants in your skin specially under your eyes. The Duwop cosmetics has this concealer that i have been "eyeing" which contains a salmon colored concealer plus has great ingredients to nourish the skin such as: Palmitoyl Oligopeptide stimulates collagen synthesis. Vitamin C lightens and brightens the skin. Shea Butter hydrates and softens. Vitamin E protects skin from damaging free radicals.

first day if school!

ElisaSung's makeup diaries
so i am finally back to tallahassee! back being an FSU seminole...lols sorry i have like no school spirit! i never when to a school football game or event! But yeah i think you always want to look decent for school! and not spend too much time on makeup! therefore is important to take care of you skin in a daily basis! i been using this bobbybrown toner!

This toner is really gentle and clears up my pores! but to tell  you the truth it feels really similar to my lemon toner! forreals! if you tried my lemon toner! it is divine! and natural! and it works great! so i got this toner because someone gave it to me! but i will rather use my lemon toner! since is more effective! my lemon toner reduces blemishes and redness! 

but other than that! if you wanna look great for school try these looks i did before!

perfume scents that turn on guys

Elisa sung's makeup diaries
so i am a big fan of perfume! my perfume collection right now are:
*chanel Chance (the pink one)

*Gucci Flora

*juicy couture viva la juicy

*victoria secret pink

and i have couple of Victoria secret beauty rush body sprays (passion fruit) but my favorite ones are channel chance and gucci flora they are so my scent! i fell in love with them right when i smelled them. It took me a long quest to find my scent! and gucci flora really defines me. But i guess with perfumes i am stubborned and i spray what i like instead of what the "guys" in general like! i mean i don't do it for them i do it for myself! haha but according to this survey it tells you what scents turns guys on and off. and according to my perfume selection most of the turns them off! puhaha i guess i'll the the unique one! and plus i don't want horny guys following me! love me for who i am! peace!

My night time skin care routine!

Elisa's Makeup Diaries

so skin care routine is very important! is an investment to your skin! everyday you applying toner, moisturizer and sunscreen will benefit you in the long run with youthful skin! but day time skin care is important but i personally think NIGHT TIME skin care is the MOST important. And here are the reasons:

1. your skin rejuvenates and produces new skin cell when you sleep
2.  applying night mask & eye cream will help the rejuvenating process thus building new skin cells and repairing your skin
3. try to sleep between 10pm- 2am or lay down and close your eyes that's when your skin cells will reproduce the most
4. try to sleep 7-8 hours a day! there is a korean saying that those who sleep a lot are beauties 잠 많이자면 미인돼요
5. drink 7-8 cups of water throughout the day and drink a glass of room temperature water right when your wake up and before you go to bed
6. to prevent breakouts tie your hair in a pony tail when you go to bed so the oils from your hair won't get into your pores
7. wash your pillow cases often

These are some tips for easy habits that could change your skin! they are simple but very effective!

Night mask
-ingredients: Aloe vera gel (for sensitive skin)
-apply aloe vera gel  all over skin (try to say away from eyes) and go to sleep!
-aloe vera has vitamin E and healing properties this will help with scars, uneveness, bring brightness to your skin and nourish your skin


Eye cream
-ingredients: Vitamin E capsules (the pills you take my mouth, clear gold gels)
-poke a whole with a needle and get the natural Vitamin E oil and apply it on your eyes like an eye cream!
-This eye cream is natural since most creams have vitamin E content you are applying this all over your eyes which is very nourishing and effective. When you wake up your skin will have absorbed all the oils leaving your eyes dark circles free and wrinkle free!

well these were some tips and tricks! hope you liked this post! and i wish your youthful skin!!

Elisa's tip
when using this product a little trick i been doing to see better results is:
-when using shampoo i leave the product for a couple of minutes around 2 minutes and let it sit so the product will stimulate my roots and scalp
-when using the conditioner i leave it on for 3-4 minutes as well!


by just doing these simple tricks the defabulous shampoo and conditioner was more effective! well good luck my swtscribers and i'll see you next time!!
